Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

60°

45°

Solution :

The correct answer is 60°.

Step-by-step Explanation:

We are given the trigonometric equation:

4sinθ+3cosecθ=43

Recall the reciprocal trigonometric identity: cosecθ=1sinθ.

Substituting this identity into the equation gives:

4sinθ+3sinθ=43

Let sinθ=x. The equation simplifies to:

4x+3x=43

Multiplying the entire equation by x to clear the fraction:

4x2+3=43x

Rearranging into standard quadratic equation form ax2+bx+c=0:

4x2-43x+3=0

This expression is a perfect square polynomial of the form 2x-32:

2x-32=0

Taking the square root of both sides:

2x-3=0

2x=3

x=32

Substituting back x=sinθ:

sinθ=32

Since θ is an acute angle (0° < θ < 90°), we find:

θ=60°
